Carnal Cryptids: East Coast by Vera Valentine [Signed Copy]

The book that started it all! Carnal Cryptids: East Coast is an MMMF polyamorous monster romance that was one of the first books ever written by Vera Valentine. This story follows a trio of male monsters, each already committed to one another, as they pursue a powerful human entirely unaware of what lurks inside her everyday world. Set against the backdrop of the Jersey Shore at summer's end, intrigue, sizzling connections, and a pinch of monstrous k*nk make this lore-rich story one you'll fall for. 

Extras: Your signed book will come with a free high-quality vinyl collector sticker, suitable for laptops, water bottles, and reading journals, of the cover design. This signed book package also includes TWO 4x6" art cards: a gorgeous watercolor scene of Will, Penn, JD, and Desi enjoying some "special time" as illustrated by artist Mon Reyes, and a pin-up Valentine's Day version of Will from artist Lewd_Slughetti - and your version won't have that pesky box of candy blocking the view ;) . (You'll ALSO receive one QR code link to a free short story ebook "A Lakesnake in Love" on the back of this art card!)

Blurb

Desiderata needed a drink. After a long day of dodging darts and heckling tourists from her balloon game booth on the Wildwood boardwalk, she just wanted to forget her looming housing angst for an hour. When heavy flirtation and a cocktail from a suave substitute bartender shakes up her evening, things are looking up.

Until, of course, she catches him making out with a hot college guy not five minutes later.

In an attempt to forget the sinfully sexy stranger from the night before, Desi agrees to a dinner date with the eyeful of tall, dark and handsome that shows up at her job the next day. There’s just one little catch: he’s apparently already dating the two guys from the bar.

For JD, a shift behind a Jersey shore dive bar was always the same: predictable, boring, a little bit sticky. So what was it about this gorgeous brunette that instantly had him on the rocks? One look at her brought out the beast in him - and a desperate hope that she might be what he and Penn need to save Will for good. After over a century of struggle, they were due for a win - and someone who really believed in them.

One night.

That’s all they’ll need to get Desi to agree to.

But it’s going to be one hell of a night.
